video review : I Shouldn't Be Alive

This documentary series, about (stupid) people lost or stranded alone for Days in dangerous conditions with little means of survival, is apparently based on real stories. That, along with its snappy albeit formulaic production, is what makes it captivating. The details rely on not much more than what the survivors say happened; the visuals are mostly re-enactments; but the gist rings true enough to astound.

Monster Energy : Ultra Rosá

Monster Energy : Ultra Rosá

“Roses are red, grapefruit is pink,” the can reads, “Ultra Rosá is not what you think.” I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean, but the flavor is described as “light and easy” with “a floral finish.” Silly metaphors aside, it is one of the more pleasant-tasting Monster Energy drinks.

Bang : Blue Razz

Bang : Blue Razz

The Razz bit is a snazzy abbreviation for Raspberry and the flavor of this energy drink, which contains a whopping 300 milligrams of caffeine hence the Bang, is indeed akin to the fruit. That isn’t a good thing though as raspberries are one of the worst fruits when it comes to taste.

video review : Doctor Sleep

You wouldn’t know from the title, but this is a sequel to The Shining. Both movies, based on Stephen King horror novels, are stupid, but this one is worse. The underlying concepts of telepathy and ghosts, which allow supernatural “magic” to happen seemingly at random, make for a plot that’s both silly and confusing.
